What to do with DMC

[balaberda]

Are people going to ride him for 6 weeks?
Or is this the time to pull value by trading him to the Zeke owner.

I am torn on this one because I don't know if I want to trust him and I would like to have a RB1 for 6 weeks but I wouldn't mind making the panicked zeke owner over pay.

Thoughts?

As with anything, it all depends on what you can get. Never hurts to explore options! If you can get a 2nd rounder for McFadden, sell.

[Slackalacker]

Yep see what you can get from Zeke owner. If you don't value it over 6 weeks of a starting RB then hang on to him.

[Tsunami]

This being dynasty, I am going to sell him if I can, he has no long-term value. The only exception is if I am a contender and desperate, and I'd still be worried about Morris.

[KCLep20]

The Zeke owner in my league took him with his 1st pick at 1.10...

[Reljac]

Yep, this may be the last time to ever get value out of him in trade. He's unlikely to change fantasy fortunes and more than likely won't be useful for fantasy playoffs.

I would take advantage of the value he has now before its too late.

[Quint]

I would love to trade him, but it seems like this might drag out like Brady and the managers I play against know this and don't want to risk much. I would be happy to start him at RB2 "IF" Zeke actually starts missing games. Also, I have no problem hanging onto him for another week or two to find out if Zeke will miss games this year. Once we know for sure Zeke will miss games, his value will increase for the short term, at which time I would explore all options.

Depends on the roster you're working with. If you're contending and weak at RB2....his production value to you for nearly half a season is worth more than a 3rd. If you're contending but strong at RB meaning he is unlikely to start for you, or if you're rebuilding...I would flip him for a 2nd or a 3rd/+ because he'll be a valueless roster clogging asset you don't want but can't pull the trigger on cutting him after he strings a few good games together when Zeek is out.

I owned him in two leagues coming into the week, but now I have an extra 2018 3rd+4th in both leagues and a free bench spot to shuffle through the WW with (essentially DMC for Tolzein/3rd/4th in a SuperFlex, and DMC for Goodwin/3rd/4th in the other). Something/anything now is probably better than nothing in two months.

[WhatWouldDitkaDo]

I'd take a late 2nd/early 3rd or better.

[Plank]

I'd sell, but I would also time the offer for when Zeke is actually going to sit .. some owners might balk and never take him if offered too early.

Pretty much this ^
Try the Doug Martin owner as well but I wouldn't go giving him away. RB production is valuable in most leagues and he should give you low RB1 high RB2 #'s for a few weeks

[Cameron Giles]

I think you sell right before Week 2 for whatever you can get. McFadden is 30 years old and has a long history of injuries. It would surprise noone if he doesn't play the entire 6 weeks that Zeke will be suspended. If you're a Zeke owner, be careful paying a premium price for him, especially when Alfred Morris can be had for significantly less.

[Thedudewhogetshigh]

If I can get a 2nd for 4 weeks of jacquiz roffers I'm sure you can for 6 weeks of McFadden

[SpartacusPTech]

I'd sell. As a Zeke owner in one league. I offered John Brown and Braxton Miller for him and was shot down. I was a bit surprised. So it seems some are willing to ride him out.
